QR Quazy!
This area has gone through some major modifications to prepare for the onslaught of trains and trucks. The intermodal station here is sure to decrease truck traffic on 81 and add to the number of trains coming through the area. Train lovers will be able to see all sorts of freight cars being pulled by powerful engines from this general area.
Of course, the people working on the ground are going to have to keep track of all the merchandise, materials, and machinery that will flow through this new facility. That is where the QR codes will be mighty useful.
History of the QR Code
In 1994, The Denso Wave company established a two dimensional bar code which they titled The Quick Response Code, more commonly referred to as the QR Code. These unique codes became a big hit due to their ability to store up to several hundred times more data than a traditional barcode. Throughout the last several years, these matrix barcodes have proved to be extremely useful and convenient tools due to their high speed download capabilities and overall functionality. There is no doubt that these QR Codes have surpassed the traditional barcodes in a variety of ways. Not only do they hold more data, but they also take up less space and are resistant to dirt and damage.
Initially, QR Codes were used to track automobile parts during the manufacturing process. These days, however, these two dimensional codes are being used in a much broader context. Although they continue to be used in the field of commercial tracking, they have recently become more popular in the area of mobile marketing. More specifically, it is the QR reading software available (either pre-installed or through an app. download) that has led to the explosion of QR Code marketing across several different industries.
In 2002, Japanese innovators developed the idea to enable their new mobile phone cameras to also act as barcode scanners. It was thought that such technology would be capable of instantly connecting users to URL addresses on the internet with the snap of a picture, and what was once a vision has now become reality.
One of the many highlights of these codes is that they relieve consumers of having to enter tedious information (like specific URL addresses) into their mobile devices in order to access desired information. These days you can find QR Codes almost anywhere and their visibility and success is only anticipated to grow.

Finding the Cache
The listed coordinates are for parking. It will put you within a reasonable walking distance from the cache location, but there is parking near the final stage too. The road here is not usually too busy, but you should really watch out for cars! You may want to leave the little ones in the car. The nearby tracks are active, but the cache is nowhere near the tracks. Be safe!
In order to find this cache you will have to get the final coordinates from this QR Quazy code.
Good luck, may the distribution and logistics deities smile on your efforts!
